Climate war

It was encouraging to read that the US military is starting to wake up to the threat of climate change. But in typical military fashion, the responses you reported were mostly addressing the symptoms of climate change, with a view to maintaining their capacity for business (or warfare) as usual.

How might the situation look if the threat became serious enough for the military to start addressing the causes of climate change? Would we see missile strikes on major carbon emitters, such as coal-fired power stations or oil rigs; drones carrying out targeted assassinations of fossil-fuel company CEOs; the full force of surveillance and espionage focused on disrupting the carbon trade; covert financial support for organisations supporting green lifestyles?

I think on balance I’d rather it was the politicians who came up with something worthwhile at the forthcoming talks.Matlock, Derbyshire, UK
